COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 

By  P.  L.  Hibbard 


This  bulletin  comprises  the  results  of  the  fertilizer  inspection  work 
of  the  California  Fertilizer  Control  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 
1917. 

PURPOSE  AND  FUNCTIONS  OF  THE  FERTILZER  CONTROL 

The  duty  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is : 

First:  To  issue  certificates  of  registration  to  manufacturers  and 
dealers  who  have  complied  with  the  law  by  filing  a  sworn  statement  of 
composition  and  sources  of  the  fertilizers  they  wish  to  sell. 

Second:  To  analyze  these  fertilizers  as  found  in  the  open  market 
and  publish  the  results  for  the  information  of  the  public.  If  a  manu- 
facturer sells  fertilizers  which  are  materially  below  his  guarantee  in 
composition  or  value  Jie  is  subject  to  prosecution  and  fine.  By  this 
means  it  is  intended  to  insure  to  purchasers  that  the  fertilizers  they 
buy  shall  be  substantially  as  good  as  represented. 

By  a  study  of  the  reports  of  analyses  of  fertilizers,  the  consumer 
should  be  able  to  determine  whether  the  materials  he  buys  are  sold  for 
a  fair  price,  and  whether  he  obtains  fertilizers  of  the  desired  composi- 
tion. In  short,  the  function  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is  to  see  that  the 
manufacturer  gives  the  consumer  a  square  deal. 

MAINTENANCE  OF  GUARANTEES 

Every  manufacturer  is  required  by  law  to  guarantee  the  percent-1 
age  of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  in  the  fertilizers  he  sells. 
Owing  to  difficulties  of  sampling  and  analysis  the  law  permits  a  maxi- 
mum deficiency  of  0.25%  nitrogen,  1.00%  phosphoric  acid,  0.50% 
potash  from  the  figures  guaranteed.  Greater  deficiencies  than  these 
are  regarded  as  infractions  of  the  law,  and  are  indicated  in  the  report 
of  analyses  in  black  face  type. 

Some  manufacturers  uphold  their  guarantees  better  than  others. 
The  following  table  is  a  condensed  report  of  the  deficiencies  found  in 
the  main  table  of  analyses.  It  summarizes  the  work  done  in  this 
laboratory  on  each  manufacturer's  goods.  The  columns  headed 
Deficiencies — per  cent  of  possible,  may  be  used  for  comparison  of  the 
various  companies  as  to  probability  of  meeting  their  guarantees.  The 
other  columns  are  necessary  to  show  how  these  figures  were  obtained. 
In  cases  where  very  few  analyses  are  reported  for  a  manufacturer,  the 


118 


UNIVERSITY   OF    CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT    STATION 


figures  should  be  taken  with  caution,  as  perhaps  not  properly  repre- 
sentative. When  several  samples  of  one  manufacturer's  goods  were 
analyzed  the  figures  may  be  accepted  as  probably  a  fair  indication  of 
the  reliability  of  his  guarantee. 

In  general,  manufacturers  have  more  than  maintained  their  guar- 
antees, so  that,  an  average  of  all  the  analyses  would  show  a  substantial 
increase  over  the  amount  guaranteed. 

This  table  is  a  condensed  statement  of  the  analytical  results  on  the 
samples  of  each  company  for  the  fiscal  year  1916-17.  A  manufacturer 
who  maintained  his  guarantees  well  last  year  will  probably  do  the 
same  this  year.

COMMERCIAL    FERTILIZERS  119 

Owing  to  the  possibility  of  misunderstanding ,  the  figures  for  per- 
centage deficiencies  are  not  given  in  above  table  in  cases  where  less 
than  four  samples  were  analyzed. 

Fertilizers  sold  on  Station  analysis,  and  some  others,  are  not  given 
a  valuation  in  the  table  of  analyses,  hence  the  number  of  such  samples 
is  deducted'  from  the  total  number  analyzed,  in  computing  deficiencies 
in  valuation. 

SUMMARY  OF  DEFICIENCIES 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples,  the  following  nnmber  of 

deficiencies  greater  than  those  allowed  by  law  occurred : 

Available  phosphoric  acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed) 40 

Total    nitrogen    82 

Potash 5 

In  valuation  50 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  126  samples. 

MECHANICAL   CONDITION   OF   FERTILIZERS 

A  good  degree  of  fineness  is  one  of  the  essential  qualities  of  a  good 
fertilizer.  It  may  be  assumed  as  generally  true  that  the  finer  the 
material  the  higher  the  availability,  hence  the  consumer  should  insist 
on  having  finely  ground  fertilizers.  Unfortunately,  some  manufac- 
turers are  at  times  careless  in  regard  to  the  fineness  of  their  goods. 
The  insistent  demand  of  the  consumer  is  the  most  effective  means  of 
correcting  such  carelessness. 

Besides  the  low  agricultural  availability  and  the  difficulty  in 
applying  coarse  fertilizers,  it  is  almost  impossible  to  obtain  adequately 
representative  samples  of  such  goods  for  analysis.  This  is  a  prolific 
source  of  dissatisfaction  and  disagreement  between  buyers  and  sellers. 
During  handling  and  transportation  a  coarsely  ground  tankage  will 
separate  so  that  the  top  of  the  sack  contains  the  coarser  material,  high 
in  nitrogen,  while  the  bottom  contains  the  finer  parts  of  bone,  high  in 
phosphoric  acid.  A  mixture  of  coarse  bone  meal  with  sulfate  of  pot- 
ash will  separate  into  coarse  bone  at  the  top  and  excess  of  potash  at 
the  bottom. 

One  of  the  chief  reasons  for  the  existence  of  the  fertilizer  manu- 
facturer is  that  he  is  better  prepared  than  the  farmer  to  grind  and 
mix  the  goods  he  sells,  and  the  farmer  should  insist  that  he  do  it  well. 

CAUTION  IN  REGARD  TO  LABELING  FERTILIZER  PACKAGES 
The  law  expressly  states  that  every  package  of  fertilizer  shall  be 
accompanied  by  a  plainly  printed  label  giving  the  brand  name,  analy- 
sis, and  source  of  the  materials  in  the  package.     This  requirement  is 


120  UNIVERSITY   OF    CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT    STATION 

not  satisfactorily  met  by  some  manufacturers  and  dealers.  Farmers 
are  hereby  cautioned  that  if  they  buy  improperly  or  inadequately 
labeled  fertilizers  or  goods  not  sold  by  properly  registered  dealers  or 
their  authorized  agents  they  may  lose  the  protection  afforded  by  the 
Fertilizer  Control.  Consumers  should  insist  that  fertilizer  tags  show 
plainly  both  the  percentage  and  the  derivation  of  each  ingredient. 
A  verbal  statement  given  by  the  selling  agent  should  not  be  accepted 
as  adequate.  The  honest  manufacturer  is  willing  to  guarantee  his 
goods  properly,  and  the  farmer  will  best  serve  his  own  interest  by 
dealing  with  no  other. 

BRAND  NAMES  BY  THE  TON  VERSUS  POUNDS  OF  PLANT  FOOD 
Stocks  of  German  potash  salts  in  this  country  are  now  practically 
exhausted;  in  consequence  very  little  potash  is  now  being  offered  in 
fertilizers.  Thus  it  happens  that  many  brands  of  complete  fertilizers 
once  common  are  no  longer  sold,  or  are  offered  under  some  modified 
name,  and  carry  little  or  no  potash.  Accordingly,  we  find  many 
incomplete  mixed  fertilizers  being  sold.  In  this  connection  it  seems 
pertinent  to  caution  consumers  in  regard  to  brand  names,  fillers,  buy- 
ing by  the  ton,  etc. 

If  instead  of  buying  peach,  orange,  or  lawn  fertilizer  by  the  ton, 
the  consumer  will  buy  as  many  pounds  of  nitrogen  or  phosphoric  acid 
or  potash  as  he  needs  or  can  afford,  he  will  be  much  more  likely  to  get 
his  money's  worth  of  plant  food.  On  this  basis,  brand  names  and 
fillers  have  very  little  importance.  Price  per  ton  may  be  disregarded 
if  price  per  pound  of  plant  food  is  right.  From  this  point  of  view  it 
is  seen  that  low  percentages  of  plant  food  are  nearly  always  high- 
priced.  Also  in  buying  pounds  of  plant  food  instead  of  tons  of  fer- 
tilizer, the  consumer  should  escape  the  losses  due  to  overguaranteed 
goods.  During  the  past  season  more  than  the  usual  proportion  of 
samples  analyzed  in  this  laboratory  have  failed  to  meet  their  guaran- 
ties. But  this  causes  no  loss  to  the  farmer  who  pays  for  fertilizer  on 
the  unit  basis,  that  is,  for  pounds  of  actual  plant  food  delivered. 

FERTILIZER  VALUATIONS 
The  calculations  of  the  commercial  values  of  the  fertilizers  here 
reported  are  made  on  the  so-called  unit  basis.  Such  calculations 
consist  simply  in  multiplying  the  number  of  per  cent  of  each  ingredi- 
ent by  the  price  per  unit  and  adding  the  products.  The  sum  thus 
obtained  is  the  commercial  value  per  ton  at  the  prices  used.  If  it  is 
desired  to  use  such  calculation  for  determining  the  amount  which 
should  be  paid  for  goods,  or  the  rebate  to  which  the  buyer  is  entitled 


COMMERCIAL    FERTILIZERS  121 

owing-  to  the  goods  delivered  being  below  the  guaranty,  it  can  only  be 
satisfactorily  done  if  a  definite  price  per  unit  has  been  agreed  upon 
between  buyer  and  seller.  But  for  the  mere  purpose  of  showing  the 
relative  values  of  goods  to  guaranties,  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  that 
the  prices  adopted  should  be  the  exact  market  prices.  Thus  it  is  that 
the  Fertilizer  Control  in  attempting  to  show  the  relation  between 
values  found  and  values  claimed,  uses  a  schedule  which  is  admittedly 
only  an  approximate  average  of  market  values.  Owing  to  market 
fluctuations,  differences  in  cost  of  delivery  at  different  points,  and 
other  causes,  the  obtaining  of  true  average  market  prices  is  an  impos- 
sibility. But  if  the  reader  will  bear  in  mind  the  true  purpose  of  the 
valuations  reported,  these  will  have  served  their  turn  and  he  will  not 
be  led  to  assume  that  the  Experiment  Station  is  dictating  the  prices 
at  which  goods  shall  be  sold.  Valuations  thus  construed  should  serve 
two  purposes. 

(a)  To  show  whether  a  certain  fertilizer  is  commercially  worth  its 
cost. 

(&)  As  a  measure  for  comparing  the  commercial  values  of  different 
brands,  thus  enabling  the  buyer  to  select  that  brand  which  will  give 
him  the  greatest  value  for  the  money  he  spends. 

NOTE  IN  REGARD  TO  SCHEDULE  OF  VALUES 

In  view  of  the  recent  extraordinary  increases  in  prices  of  fertiliz- 
ers and  of  the  chaotic  condition  of  the  market,  we  find  it  impossible 
to  prepare  a  schedule  of  prices  by  consultation  of  market  reports  as 
heretofore.  Inasmuch,  however,  as  such  a  schedule  is  necessary  for 
comparative  purposes,  the  following  table  of  values  has  been  prepared, 
based  chiefly  on  known  prices  of  recent  sales  in  this  State.  These 
values  are  not  to  be  taken  as  in  any  way  representing  actual  present 
market  prices,  though  they  may  sometimes  approximate  them.  In  the 
table  of  analyses  the  column  "Value  per  ton"  is  given  on  the  basis 
of  station  prices.

SCOPE  OF  INSPECTION 

During  the  year  506  samples  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials 
have  been  received  at  this  laboratory.  Of  this  number  five  were  sent 
by  farmers  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision,  203  were  taken  by 
inspectors  from  purchasers'  goods  upon  the  request  of  the  purchasers, 
and  257  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  goods  in  the  hands  of  agents 
and  manufacturers.  On  two  samples  the  analysis  as  reported  was 
used  as  a  basis  of  settlement  by  mutual  agreement  of  buyer  and  seller.* 
No  guaranty  was  required  or  given  with  goods  sold  under  such  agree- 
ment. Thirty-one  samples  of  a  miscellaneous  nature  are  omitted  from 
the  tables. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  samples  reported  in 
this  bulletin :

BEGISTEBED  MANUFACTUKEBS  AND  DEALEBS 

The  following  manufacturers  and  dealers  in  commercial  fertilizers 
have  obtained  certificates  of  registration  under  the  provisions  of  the 
California  fertilizer  law,  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  July  1,  1916. 
A  list  is  also  given  of  the  brands  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizer  materials 
offered  for  sale  by  them.  According  to  the  sworn  returns  of  dealers 
registered  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1916,  their  entire  sales 
in  the  state  amounted  to  29,415  tons.  Incomplete  returns  for  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1917,  indicate  approximately  36,000  tons. 

No  dealer  or  manufacturer,  except  those  who  have  certificates  of 
registration  from  the  University  of  California,  and  their  authorized 
agents,  can  legally  sell  fertilizers  in  this  state.  No  person  or  company 
has  any  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connection 
with  the  firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such  num- 


*Besides  these  a  considerable  number  of  the  remaining  purchasers'   analyses  were  doubt- 
less used  subsequently  as  a  basis  of  settlement,  but  without  being  reported  to  this  office.

ber  has  been  issued ;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  registration 
number  has  been  assigned  has  any  right  to  give  any  other  person  or 
company  permission  to  use  said  registration  number;  any  number  so 
used  is  a  fraud.  No  agent  has  any  right  to  use  his  principal's  regis- 
tration number  in  connection  with  his  own  name. 

The  total  number  of  brands  registered  by  manufacturers  was  270, 
of  which  118  brands,  equal  to  44  per  cent  of  the  total,  were  found 
on  the  market  by  inspectors  and  analyzed.

REPORT  OF  ANALYSIS 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone,  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of  these 
materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated  by  a 
sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and 
Thomas  phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonium  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases 
this  form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen 
during  process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation 
from  guaranty  of  materials  used.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitro- 
gen in  nitrates  and  ammonium  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable 
quantity  of  guano  is  used  the  manufacturer  should  take  into  account 
the  fact  that  some  nitrogen  will  show  as  nitrates  and  ammonium 
salts.  The  failure  to  take  this  into  consideration  may  account  for 
the  appearance  of  these  forms  of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which 
only  organic  nitrogen  was  guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent. 
It  is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is 
from  muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in 
some  of  the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash 
and  a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from  a 
practical  standpoint  he  has  changed  the  quality  of  his  fertilizer  just 
as  much  as"  if  he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of 
potash.  Chlorin  from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from 
muriate  of  potash.  However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when 
sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the  fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables:  BatG  =  bat 
guano,  Bl  =  blood,  Bn  =  bone,  Fs  =  fish,  G  =  guano,  H  =  hoof, 
Min.  Phos.  =  mineral  phosphate,  Super  =  superphosphates,  T  = 
tankage,  CSM  =  cotton  seed  meal. 

Guarantees  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than 
allowed  by  law  are  entered  in  bold  face  type.
